Sheer FabricDone tastefully, sheer fabric can be gorgeous. But it’s
tough to pull off during the day–and the transparent nature of the
fabric often shows a little more than you’re intending. Pictured: Diane von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Zac Posen.

Wow– thanks for a great wrap-up on all the trends for Spring. I’d love to have a party to wear the Oscar de al Renta feather dress to!. I think the mini and maxi skirt look a bit tired and almost dated. Although I suppose minis in spring-summer are always going to be in. I’m surprised at the Vera Wang– hers look dull and dreary next to the beautiful colors.
I’m ready to shop!

i agree! bubble skirts often make people look like they’re wearing “full” diapers! i guess if they are longer they are not as bad… and i hate that even a lot of t-shirts nowadays are so sheer.

True–mini dresses can be great for short women. But they require a pair of great legs…which is not something all of us are lucky enough to have. As with everything on this Least Wearable list, mini dresses can be done right, with the right body type.

Dresses with pockets? Really? I remember the Jennifer Hudson dress with pockets worn at the Oscars that looked terrible AND got smashed by everyone who saw it.

Love this! I’ve got 3 or 4 dresses now with pockets and I love them to death. And agreed on all of the difficulty trends, *especially* bubble skirts which I can’t quite figure out why they’re still around.
